How do we understand the agency and significance of material forces andtheir interface with human bodies? What does it mean to be human in these times, with bodies that are inextricably interconnected with our physical world? BodilyNatures considers these questions by grappling with powerful and pervasive materialforces and their increasingly harmful effects on the human body. Drawing on feministtheory, environmental studies, and the sciences, Stacy Alaimo focuses ontrans-corporeality, or movement across bodies and nature, which has profoundlyaltered our sense of self. By looking at a broad range of creative and philosophicalwritings, Alaimo illuminates how science, politics, and culture collide, whileconsidering the closeness of the human body to the environment.
